About this sitter

I am a 62-year-old woman and I live in a detached house in the countryside. I'm used to getting by on my own and I love animals. My last pet left for better hunting grounds in the spring of 2024 and now I miss the company of animals.

I would like to find a "quiet" place to spend time and where there might be nice animals whose energy I could enjoy.

I move around without a car, so it would be good to have transport connections close by or a grocery store within walking distance. I have a driver's license, I can also borrow your car if that is possible.

Why they want to house sit

When I travel, I would like to experience different cultures and the best free time for me would be to enjoy the company of animals.

I don't want the tourist rush. I like real life, in the right environment, be it in the country, a small village or a city. As long as nature and animals are nearby.

Their experience

I have 21 years of animal care experience. During that time, I myself have had 2 dogs, 3 cats, several chickens (over 20), rabbits and ducks.
I have also looked after my friends' animals such as dogs, chickens, rabbits, sheep and cats.

2024 November-December I took care of 2 rescue dogs in Austria. Both were absolutely wonderful.

2025 January-February I was in Greece and tamed street dogs. And march also passed in Greece with 22 cats accompanying me.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring with me all my attention and love to the animals, the house and the garden. I enjoy being in the countryside, in nature and by the water.

I also love taking care of the garden and I like to do small maintenance work there.

This program asks for the criminal record extract provided by the police. I can order one if needed, but in Finland they are chargeable and only valid for 6 months, so I'll order it if someone demands it, it's not a problem.

I don't smoke and I don't drink alcohol.

Testimonials

Heli Our Saviour

Thank the lord for Heli! She saved our bacon and kindly took over from another house sitter at very very short notice and we were in Asia at the time! Big job here building site and 20 cats Heli rose to the challenge and managed the whole caboodle without any fuss or bother just cracked on until we returned home yesterday 6 weeks of constant busyness and showed dedication, tenacity and a fantastic ambassador for the cats. I would have Heli back in a heartbeat. Thank you so so much Heli we love you..

Great person!

Heli is house sitting from the beginning of January until the end of February for me. She is a very friendly and uncomplicated person with a great connection with animals. My cats, dog and horses like her very much. She helps me very much to get in touch with some very shy street dogs and she does a really good job! I trust her with everything 100 percent and I recommend her as a absolutely trustworthy woman with a big heart and a lot of respect for the personality of every animal!
